Most patients should visit every six months for professional cleanings and examinations. Your dentist may recommend more frequent visits based on your oral health.

Results typically last from 6 months to 2 years with good oral hygiene and avoiding foods and drinks that stain teeth.

Veneers are considered a long-term cosmetic solution and typically last 10–15 years or longer with proper care.

Invisalign FAQs

Invisalign uses a series of custom-made clear aligners that gradually move your teeth into their ideal position.

For many adults and teens, Invisalign offers a discreet, removable, and comfortable alternative to traditional braces.
